Invoices & receipts
You are the seller; frequentix issues the paperwork on your behalf. Buyers get a receipt or a proper VAT invoice, corrections follow accounting rules rather than edits, and nothing ever disappears.
Receipt, invoice, credit note

- A receipt — issued when you’re not set up for VAT invoicing. On every plan.
- A VAT invoice — issued once your seller details (VAT number, address, country) are complete in Settings → Invoicing; the console tells you exactly what’s missing. Small consumer purchases produce a legally simplified invoice with no buyer address needed; a buyer who supplies company details gets a full one.
- A credit note — raised automatically when a refund settles.
When buyers get which
- By default a document is issued automatically when an order is paid; you can widen that to free orders too, or switch to on-request only.
- The confirmation email carries a link to the document — never an attachment — and the buyer’s order page shows it permanently, as accessible HTML and PDF (invoices also as machine-readable XML for procurement systems).
- Buyers can add company and VAT details after purchase — the usual moment a business buyer realises they need a full invoice.
- A door sale is documented by the same path as any online order.
Corrections
Documents are never edited. The document kind is frozen at issue — registering for VAT next year doesn’t rewrite last year’s receipts — and there are exactly two corrections:
- Wrong value (a refund) → a credit note reverses it.
- Wrong identity (buyer supplied company details late) → cancel and reissue, keeping the audit trail.
Numbering & retention
- Numbering is gapless and sequential per organisation, with an optional yearly reset — what an accountant or an inspector expects.
- Each event has an Invoices ledger with CSV export; the order record is the only place a document is issued or reissued.
- Issued documents survive even a GDPR erasure — tax law requires six years of records, and erasure respects that.
